What fun! Of course books on Russian for foreigners do not really discuss how to pronounce math. Numbers in everyday speech are tricky enough. | |
| Jan 13, 2015 at 6:48 | comment | added | KCd | Since the preposition с in your example governs the instrumental case, counted objects follows с have the number put into the instrumental case. So basically your confusion is due to not appreciating that as soon as you use a preposition that puts nouns and adjectives after it into a definite case (other than nominative and accusative) then numbers get put in exactly the same case as well. Maybe you have not seen case tables for numbers. Look for them. | |
| Jan 13, 2015 at 6:46 | comment | added | KCd | First, your example is not a sentence, but just a phrase (a piece of a possible sentence): "Our four children and I" and "Our four children and us" are not sentences in English either. Second, genitive is used for nouns following numbers (well, following most numbers) when the noun by itself - with the number taken away - would be in the nominative case or accusative case. But when there is a preposition involved that puts the noun into another case (e.g., в книгах uses prepositional case) then numbers modifying the noun go into that same case. (contd.) | |
